Looking for
bucks in all the wrong places? Online surveys are a great way to pad your paycheck
on your own time and with minimal
effort. To find legitimate sites, go through the registration process, and
become eligible to take surveys, follow these instructions.
Be
prepared. Surveyors
are looking for specific types of people, and while you won't qualify for every
survey (if you're a 25-year-old healthy hipster and they're looking for a
60-year-old couch potato,
you're just not going to make the cut).
Fill out the
surveys. Many survey
companies offer screener surveys when you register, which usually don't pay.
- However, it's an important first step, and worth the little extra time it takes to fill these screening surveys out because the more demographic information the market research companies have on you, the more surveys they can send you.
- Remember, you will only be matched with surveys that you can actually contribute to, so if you leave all your screener information blank to get through it more quickly, you will receive fewer survey opportunities.
